Oil, Smoke & Mirrors offers a bleaker view of present global circumstances than many of us would dare consider. It deals with issues that are largely marginalised, if not ignored, in the discourse of mainstream media and politics.

However, as the film argues, it may well be that mediated political culture itself which, by sidelining some of the most challenging questions of historical truth in our time, poses the gravest threat to our future.

"I heartily recommend this documentary, it should be watched be every citizen of the U.S." -Dale Allen Pfeiffer, author of Eating Fossil Fuels
